Graham Geraghty. Its very rare you come across a player with such natural athleticism along with sublime skill and the mentality to go with it. Big game player, could slot them over with either foot and pace to burn. Couldn't be touched in his prime and still remains one of the most complete forwards to ever play the game, in my opinion of course.

Hurling: Long run will be Rushie but at the moment go for Mike Birmingham (our first All-Star in '71 I think). Though my personal favourite was also Joey Towell. Joey, head down go for goal and fella's swinging hurls at him like they were axes, and he would just keep going.

Football: Mullins maybe. Old Jimmy was may favourite though, and Moran would have been an all time great if he had stayed. Greatest run on him had to be the Panther it look unnatural.

Best Position: Our football goalkeepers deserve National attention. Cluxton, O'Leary, Cullen, O'Flatherty....4 goalkeepers (bar a few years) that came one after another and bring us right back to the 50's!!! The first three came in a more media era so are know. O'Flathery for all Dubs will always been known as the odd one out! Referring to the '53 League Final

Hurling - Should be Keaney if he hadn't of wasted his talent with the big ball. I think it'll be Liam in the long run.

Football - There's no real stand out candidate imo from the era I watched. A lot of good players but no-one really stands out for me as the best ever.

Mick Holden is a great shout we all loved him for his grit, tough but fair. hurrling tough enough game without a full set of fingers.

My county similar to Brend EugeneMcKenna though Peter at his peak was incredible. Tie for me.
